New Hellenic Seaways ferries: services, tickets and prices

In August 2022, Hellenic Seaways launched its 3 new-built Aero highspeed catamarans on the Saronic routes.

The three new Aero vessels, Aero Highspeed 1, Aero Highspeed 2 and Aero Highspeed 3, can accommodate up to 150 passengers each. They connect the port of Piraeus with the islands of Aegina, Agistri, Poros, Hydra, Spetses, and the towns of Ermioni and Porto Heli in East Peloponnese.

On board the ferries, you have access to comfortable aircraft-type seats, seats for people with disabilities, a vending machine, overhead luggage bins, as well as specially designated luggage areas. Additionally, there are dedicated areas for bicycle transportation and dedicated air-conditioned kennels for pets. Keep in mind that there’s no car deck for vehicle transfer. 

The Aero highspeed catamarans are also more energy efficient, since they are equipped with solar panels, and their extremely light construction contributes to the reduction of fuel consumption. 

Standard ferry tickets for the Saronic routes start at €19 one-way depending on the season. As for Hellenic Seaways ferry discounts, there’s a 50% discount for children aged 5-10, while children up to 4 years travel for free.
